A New Year To Remember!

   

                                       So much to be thankful for, So much more to do!


                                   


     December has been super slow due to many groups being out of the country for Christmas. We are heading to Chisec tomorrow! We are having much anticipated party for some of the kiddos we have been blessed to meet. After this we head straight to Poptun to help locate water for our friends at Water For Life. We will be in that area for just over a week. Mid January we have visitors coming from the States (Yay Family). The end of January we will need to renew our visas which looks like us leaving Central America for 72 hours. We have a lot to do next month and we are trusting that God will provide the necessary funds to accomplish all this.   



     We are still in need of financial supporters at this point. If you would like to help support the mission we will post opportunities that need attention. Some of the opportunities would look like Filtration for communities that despite everyone's best efforts will never have water from a well. These folks will have to fight daily for clean water the rest of their lives. It has become our vision to not only locate water, but to serve those who our service can't serve.(tongue twister). We have had 100% success so far locating water in remote villages. However there is still a problem in some more heavily populated areas where contamination is unavoidable. We would like to provide water filters to these Barrios that are quite poor. If this is something that you would like to help with please contact us or follow the link to our -go fund me page-. Thank you all for your continued support and please continue to pray for us.

What are we doing here update!

This is a short video showing some of the work we have been up to.

What happens next will shock you......

                                                  We made a sugar syrup from sugar cane!

 So we got some sugar cane given to us by some special people that we were allowed to serve. At first we just took to gnawing on it and that was pretty good. Gets a little old picking cane fiber from the front of your face. So I proposed to my family that we ought to make sugar. I don’t really know how they do it but I said to my kids we will just do it.

First we cut it in chunks and debarked em real good.

                                   Then we cut it in smaller chunks and blended to make a pulp.

Next we took the pulp and placed it in a cheese cloth and squeezed it out real good. 

The final steps were to boil it down to the desired consistency and strained it into a jar. 

We never really considered making sugar or refining cane. However since we had the raw product, and since my kids are homeschooled here in Guatemala, I said yeah let’s do that. So if you ever have some sugar cane laying around and you want to make some syrup for coffee or whatever. That’s how we dunnit. Thanks for reading our little post.
